  1. Von Trier: Cinema’s Greatest Troll.

  2. Mr. Cool Incendiary Joke is the IN YOUR FACE version of Gabe’s monthly comedy show, Mr. Coconuts.

  3. That’s pretty coincidental, because I’m Not-zeeing* this movie when it comes out.

    *Monster Q&A
    Q: Why the weird spelling here, FLW?
    A: Long Answer: Because when I spelled out the word “Nazing,” I was afraid of being hoisted on the very same petard currently occupied by Mr. Von Trier. Short Answer: I pussied out.

  4. “before the declaration about Hitler and Nazism, Von Trier looked happier and more relaxed than he had at any of his previous press conferences at Cannes. He announced that he has broken through his depression and he has stopped drinking”

    Maybe he should start again?

  5. Dude just walked away with the Palme d’SHUT UP.

  6. Cannes seems to bring out the absolute worst in people.

  7. Joke or not, Antichrist was my eyeballs’ own personal Holocaust.

  8. Not many people know it, but the Führer was a great Dancer in the Dark.

  9. He stole that joke from Louis C.K.

  10. “Nazis tend to do things on a grander scale”

    Yes. A grand and epic scale of 6 million if were going to really get into it. Go to bed Lars and never wake up.

  11. Fuhrer rhymes with Trier. Must be true!

    • i had to image search Tyler to make sure that’s who that was. being old and out of touch sucks.

    • Lars just needs some “swag” beats to soundtrack his next bigoted rant and he’ll be excused by 90% of the pop-culture internet!

  12. “Hey, check out this story about Lars Von Trier!” – Mel Gibson’s Facebook, Twitter, blog

  13. How does someone “discover” that they are a Nazi? It’s not, like, oh, I just found out my great-great-grandfather was half Portugese. I do not know what that means.

    Or is this one of those things where people try to say that Nazism isn’t just about hating Jews? Like when people with Confederate flags on their front lawn insist they’re just big proponents of cotillions and states’ rights? He’s really just a socialist with bad taste in moustaches?

    • Well, around puberty I discovered I wasn’t attracted to the same things other boys my age were pursuing. I found I was different and I began to explore those differences to learn more about my self….Long Story short (too late!), turns out I’m a Nazi.

    • Apparently when his mother was on her deathbed she told him that his father was not a Jew but instead a member of the German aristocracy….i.e., a Nazi. So yeah, that’s how you discover you’re a nazi I guess, if you equate being descended from one with being one.

  14. “No artificial lighting for you!”

    (That one’s for all the Dogme 95 and Seinfeld fans out there)

  15. Trier makes ridiculous statement at Cannes to promote his new stuffy pseudo-psychological art film. What’s new?
